Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a material and a method for ultrasonic detection, in particular to a flexible coupling wedge block for ultrasonic detection and an application method thereof, belonging to the technical field of ultrasonic nondestructive detection.
Background
Nondestructive testing plays a very important role in quality control, and is an application discipline capable of characterizing the internal mechanical properties and material states of a tested object on the premise of not damaging the tested object. The relevant instrument is used for identifying the reactions of sound, heat, electricity and the like caused by the internal defects of the material, and certain evaluation and judgment can be made on the relevant information of the defects. At present, nondestructive testing is an unavailable part of the industrial field, and plays an increasing role.
The ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology is one of the most commonly used nondestructive testing methods, the size and the direction of the defect can be determined by the time of the ultrasonic signal round trip and the defect, and the defect scale can be determined by measuring the amplitude of the echo signal; the method has the characteristics of wide measurement range, high measurement accuracy, convenient use, no toxicity, no harm and the like, and is widely applied to detection of various materials and equipment.
While significant advances have been made in ultrasonic inspection techniques at this stage, the prior art is still a challenging task to face in situ ultrasonic inspection of complex structures such as arbitrary irregular surfaces, low tilt angles, and high curvature surface structures.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned related technical problems, the present invention proposes a flexible coupling wedge capable of coupling with complex surfaces and a method of use thereof for conformal contact with any surface, while being seamlessly compatible with existing phased array probes without requiring other technical modifications.
The invention solves the difficult problem of ultrasonic detection of complex surfaces, solves the technical problems that original elements are to be removed and a series of complex supporting facilities such as a water tank are required by water immersion detection in the prior art, can carry out in-situ detection by using the flexible wedge block, does not need water immersion, and greatly widens the detection method of workpieces with complex shapes.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme is as follows:
1. a flexible coupling wedge for ultrasonic testing:
the flexible coupling wedge block is prepared from a wedge block matrix, and the wedge block matrix is made of dynamic cross-linked polymer materials.
In general, ultrasonic detection of internal defects is carried out by taking water as a medium, and the workpiece is placed under water and is detected by water transmission through an ultrasonic probe.
The invention mainly uses dynamic cross-linked polymer material as medium, both the workpiece and the flexible coupling wedge block are placed in non-water environment, and the ultrasonic probe directly uses the flexible coupling wedge block as transmission medium to detect internal defects of the workpiece.
The dynamic cross-linked polymer material is composed of one or more materials with unobvious sound attenuation characteristics, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polysiloxane, polyboronic acid ester and the like.
The dynamic cross-linked polymer material has low acoustic attenuation rate, the signal amplitude is not easy to weaken, and the high-frequency components of the signal are not easy to be absorbed. The sound attenuation characteristic is not obvious, namely, the acoustic impedance of the dynamic cross-linked polymer material is close to that of water, the sound energy of ultrasonic detection is effectively transferred to a detected workpiece, and other clutters influencing detection except the ultrasonic detection are not generated.
Further, the dynamic cross-linked polymer material includes, but is not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, polysiloxane, polyboronate, etc.
The network structure of the dynamic cross-linked polymer material contains dynamic cross-linking sites, so that the cross-linking density of the network structure can be dynamically changed, and the dynamic cross-linked polymer material can be subjected to plastic deformation.
The flexible coupling wedge block is further obtained by adding a functional component on a wedge block matrix for regulation and control, wherein the functional component mainly comprises a fluidity reducer for increasing the characteristic threshold of external force;
the fluidity reducing agent includes, but is not limited to, fiber materials such as cotton fibers, polyester fibers, two-dimensional sheet materials such as montmorillonite, carbon nanotubes, particulate powder particles such as zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, and the like, particulate powder fillers, and the like.
In practice, the quality of the flowability reducer can be adjusted according to the relation between the specific deformation requirement and the external force threshold. In general, the more complex the surface structure or the greater the curvature, the less flow reducer is added.
The deformation behavior of the flexible coupling wedge block is regulated and controlled by regulating and controlling the material selection and the addition amount of the added functional components so as to regulate and control the external force threshold value of plastic flow. The mechanical threshold of the flexible coupling wedge block can be adjusted by adding different substances and different amounts of functional components into the dynamic cross-linked polymer material according to the requirements of different detection objects under different working conditions.
The dynamic crosslinking polymer material of the wedge matrix and the functional components are interacted through physical interaction to regulate and control the overall performance of the flexible coupling wedge.
The mass ratio between the wedge block matrix and the functional components generally ensures that the mass fraction of the functional components does not exceed 5% of the matrix mass, and ensures that the prepared flexible coupling wedge block has certain yield stress.
The functional components can be selected according to the time required by actual detection, and when the detection time is longer, the fiber material can be selected as the component because the fiber material can realize a stable grid-like structure; when the detection time is short or only a small amount of data is collected, a particle or two-dimensional sheet material may be selected as the functional component.
The wedge matrix prepared by the dynamic cross-linked polymer material originally has deformability under the action of external force, but does not have shape retention, namely, after the external force is removed, the material cannot stably maintain the deformation generated in the previous step.
According to the wedge block matrix, the functional components are added into the wedge block matrix, so that the deformation behavior of the wedge block has mechanical threshold sensitivity, and the following functions can be realized:
under the action of external force larger than a specific threshold, the wedge block has shaping capability and can deform so as to be attached to or complemented with any irregular surface;
after the external force is removed, the wedge block has shape-preserving capability, so that the deformation under the action of the external force can be stably maintained, thereby stabilizing the relative position of the ultrasonic probe and the tested workpiece and meeting the requirements of nondestructive testing.
The flexible coupling wedge block can be applied to in-situ ultrasonic detection of a workpiece with a complex surface structure on the premise of not affecting ultrasonic conduction.
And physically mixing the wedge matrix and the functional components to obtain the flexible coupling wedge.
The wedge block matrix and the functional components are fully mixed, and after being fully dispersed, the wedge block matrix and the functional components are placed in a hydraulic press for compression and bubble removal, and then the wedge block matrix and the functional components are obtained after standing for a period of time.
The flexible coupling wedge block is applied to in-situ ultrasonic detection of a workpiece with a complex surface structure.
The ultrasonic detection is used for detecting defects in a workpiece.
The complex surface in the structural workpiece refers to an area which can not be detected in situ by an ultrasonic probe matched with a couplant, such as any irregular surface, small inclination angle, large curvature surface structure and the like.
The small inclination angle means that the inclination angle is smaller than 90 degrees;
the large curvature means that the curvature is more than 2.
The specific complex surfaces may be, for example, dovetail structures, deep trench structures, arch structures, array groove structures, etc.
2. A method of ultrasonic testing application of a flexible coupling wedge, the method comprising:
1) Applying an external force greater than a specific external force threshold value for controlling plastic flow to the flexible coupling wedge block, so that the flexible coupling wedge block is plastically deformed, and the surface of the flexible coupling wedge block is fit with the surface of a measured workpiece with a complex surface;
2) The external force is removed, the flexible coupling wedge block has shape-preserving capability, the flexible coupling wedge block keeps the shape unchanged, the flexible coupling wedge block keeps the deformation in the step 1), the relative position between the ultrasonic probe and the tested workpiece can be stabilized, and the ultrasonic probe is used for approaching the flexible coupling wedge block to carry out ultrasonic nondestructive testing.
The step 1) specifically comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the steps of placing a flexible coupling wedge block on the surface of the complex surface of a measured workpiece, moving an ultrasonic probe towards the normal direction of the flexible coupling wedge block and the measured workpiece, continuing to apply external force larger than a specific external force threshold value for controlling plastic flow after the ultrasonic probe is contacted with the flexible coupling wedge block, enabling the flexible coupling wedge block to be fully contacted and filled on the complex surface of the measured workpiece while deforming, and simultaneously keeping a distance between the ultrasonic probe and the measured workpiece by the flexible coupling wedge block.
The external force threshold value for controlling plastic flow is regulated and controlled by adding functional components into the flexible coupling wedge block, namely the flexible coupling wedge block has mechanical threshold sensitivity.
By adding functional fillers (adjusting types and contents), the mechanical threshold sensitivity of the deformation behavior of the wedge block can be regulated and controlled so as to meet different detection requirements.
After step 2), the flexible coupling wedge further continues to apply force to deform the flexible coupling wedge and remove the flexible coupling wedge from the surface of the workpiece to be tested, and the process from step 1) to step 2) is repeated for ultrasonic detection of the surface of another or the next workpiece to be tested.
Therefore, the flexible coupling wedge block can further continue to exert force to deform, and can be reused until the mechanical property or the acoustic property of the flexible coupling wedge block cannot meet the detection requirement.
The flexible coupling wedge block matrix is a dynamic cross-linked polymer material, and the deformation behavior of the wedge block can be regulated and controlled by adding the functional components so as to meet different detection requirements, and the wedge block has shape variability, so that the wedge block can be attached to or complemented with any irregular structure, and the ultrasonic detection under the complex working condition is realized.
The invention also provides an application method of the flexible coupling wedge block for ultrasonic detection, which comprises the following steps: when the flexible coupling wedge block is attached to the ultrasonic probe, the flexible coupling wedge block deforms under the action of external force and is matched with the complex structure of the surface of the tested workpiece, and after the external force is removed, the flexible coupling wedge block can keep self deformation, so that the distance between the ultrasonic probe and the tested workpiece is stabilized, and the in-situ ultrasonic nondestructive testing requirement is met.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
because the existing method for detecting the workpiece with the complex surface structure generally adopts a water immersion method, the original structural member must be removed first, and the in-situ detection cannot be realized; meanwhile, auxiliary articles such as conventional water bags on the market cannot adapt to surface structures such as small inclination angles and large curvatures. The ultrasonic detection material has low cost, excellent mechanical rheological property, no influence on sound wave conduction, and repeated use, and can greatly fill the blank of in-situ detection technology of complex workpieces and improve the detection capability of defects under complex surfaces.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, but the scope of the invention as claimed is not limited thereto.
On one hand, the invention utilizes the adjustable deformation behavior of the dynamic cross-linked polymer material matrix. The wedge block has shape plasticity under the action of external force larger than a specific threshold value, can be attached to or complemented with any irregular structure, and has the capability of keeping the shape after the external force is removed, so that the relative position of the probe and a tested piece is stabilized, and ultrasonic detection under complex working conditions is realized.
On the other hand, the deformation behavior of the wedge block has mechanical threshold sensitivity and has shape-preserving capability under the condition of no pressure or lower pressure by further adding the functional component into the wedge block matrix of the dynamic cross-linked polymer material.
The mechanical threshold sensitivity is specifically:
as shown in fig. 1, when the magnitude of the applied external force is greater than the mechanical threshold (yield stress), the strain rate of the material is rapidly increased, and the material has a plastic deformation behavior and good plastic forming capability; when the external force is removed or applied is smaller than the mechanical threshold, the strain rate of the material is smaller, and the material has elastic deformation behavior and good shape-preserving capability.
As shown in fig. 4, a preparation flow chart is shown, functional components are filled in a polymer material substrate, and the functional components are used for adjusting the characteristic mechanical threshold of the flexible coupling wedge block to meet the requirement of a detection scene. The mixture may then be cold-pressed to debubble or left for a period of time. After the bubbles of the mixture are eliminated, the mixture can be subjected to certain acoustic characteristic detection, parameters such as sound velocity, sound attenuation and the like are recorded, and the preparation can be completed according to the design requirements.
In the specific implementation, as shown in fig. 2, the dynamic covalent cross-linked polymer network generally selects polysiloxane, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like which use hydrogen bond interaction as a cross-linking site.
In particular, as shown in fig. 3, the flowability reducer generally uses a fiber material or a two-dimensional sheet material, and a fiber mixture which is uniformly dispersed forms a new grid structure in the main body of the polymer material, so that the flowability of the wedge block is reduced, the shaping capability is reduced, and the shape retention capability is enhanced, even if the mechanical characteristic threshold of plastic flow of the material is increased.
The application process of the flexible coupling wedge block of the invention in ultrasonic detection of a workpiece is shown in fig. 5:
(1) Selecting a detection position, placing a proper amount of flexible coupling wedge block 2 on a complex surface structure of a detected workpiece 3, moving an ultrasonic probe 1 towards the normal direction of the detected workpiece 3, and applying a certain external force after the probe 1 is contacted with the flexible coupling wedge block 2 (the position of a dotted line in fig. 5), wherein the external force is larger than an external force threshold value, so that the flexible coupling wedge block 2 gradually fills the complex surface while deforming, and simultaneously, isolating the lower surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 from the flexible coupling wedge block 2 after the upper surface of the detected workpiece 3 is deformed to keep a certain distance;
(2) After the relative positions of the ultrasonic probe 1 and the tested workpiece 3 are stable, controlling a related system to transmit ultrasonic signals and receiving echoes of the internal defects 4;
(3) And (3) removing the ultrasonic probe 1, and then applying a certain external force or not applying the flexible coupling wedge block 2 to be taken out until the next detection point, and repeating the operation (1).
